    Summary

    The woman tilted her head. "Do you know what we just did to you?"

    Astarion's eyes darted between them, perplexed by the question. What they did to him…?

    That's when he noticed the Selûnite pendant around her neck. She was a cleric… had she healed him? He tried to piece together a scenario that made any sort of sense, but the details barely added up. Had these people found him? If so, why did they drag him across the city? How did they do such a thing? Why wasn't he in Harborside getting treatment? He wasn't sure exactly how severe his injuries had been, but he knew for a fact that a simple healing potion would not have done a thing to mend him back together.

    "Are you… healers?" he asked.

    The bearded man's mouth dropped open. "Healers—? What? No," he began to reach for him, but thought better of it and awkwardly closed his fist instead. "Astarion, it's me. Gale."

    Astarion didn't recognize his name or his face in the slightest, but the way he was looking at him gave him pause.

    "I… I don't…" Astarion shook his head slightly, racking his brain. "I'm sorry… Have we met before?"

    Summary

    Hero of the Gate, they called him — a weary title indeed. Hero. Chosen. Names that cost far more than they bestowed.

    After surrendering the orb to Mystra, Gale Dekarios has rebuilt his life as a professor of the Weave at Blackstaff Tower — wiser, steadier, and determined to be content. But the legacy of Karsus is not yet through with him…When Red Wizards steal the last of the Karsus Regalia from the ruins of Myth Drannor and Thultanthar, smuggling it toward Skullport, they do not realize a legendary Warden, hero of three cities, is already on their trail.

    The Warden sooner trust a dragon than a wizard, especially one whose ambition rivaled Karsus’s. But as they descend into Waterdeep’s shadows, chasing Netherese magic, they begin to see past each other’s armor.

    She understands the weight of ruin.
    He understands the cost of power.

    Together, they may be the only ones who can stop the Weave from tearing again.

    A slow‑burn romance between two weary heroes who never meant to fall in love — and who may finally have found someone who understands what it means to carry a title that has taken everything.

    Doomity-doom-doom, da-da-doom, da-doom!

    Summary

    I'm told my father once declared that he'd prayed to every single god, and none had answered. Lucky asshole, because one keeps answering me. Won't leave me the fuck alone, actually, no matter how far I run or how loud I beg him to stop.

    A bhaalspawn returns to the Gate, 80 years after the brain fell, 10 years after Jaheira died, and 2 years after she started finding herself suddenly standing over dead bodies, missing hours or days worth of memories.

    What's worse than a hag who wants to kill you? A hag who finds you interesting.

    Summary

    “Deep down, you like being leashed, don’t you?” The hag’s voice was almost in his ear. Astarion whirled around. An Auntie Ethel – the real one? – stood on the ledge just behind him, yellow fangs bared in a vicious grin. “Listen to your betters, boy!”

    And just like that, Astarion's newfound freedom disappeared.

    Summary

    It wasn’t a stirge or a deathfang, Gale choking down a gasp at the humanoid figure madly lapping and guzzling the bowl of blood. It was a vampire.

    When Gale becomes aware of a creature targeting the infestation of necrotic rats plaguing his store, his eager brain fixates on the question of what being would willingly consume such pests.

    His answer of a feral vampire spawn would only leaves him with an overabundance of academic questions and emotional complications.

    Summary

    Gale has always found that a Simulacrum is far more useful than a mirror for knowing how something looks - the perfect copy, head to toe, makes a wonderful model with a few unique benefits. Naturally his modified spell, when cast with enough power, is even capable of interacting physically, so outfits can be properly worn without leaving signs of wear. What's a better fit? The finely tailored outfit, or their wearer?...

    Inspired by the BG3 Kinktober 2025 prompt list on BSky, with pairings voted for through August and September through Google Forms and Tumblr, this series explores a variety of kinks at around 1,000 words each. Thank you to everyone who helped decide what to write for each prompt day!

    Summary

    "…I am pleased to see you again, wizard."

    The look he gave her was one of faint surprise— lips parted, eyes widened and rimmed with heavy dark circles. His beard, usually so meticulously groomed, was unkempt. For once he seemed at a loss for words.

    "I…I'm pleased to see you too, Minthara."

    Minthara Baenre was never a woman of many words.

    Gale Dekarios was desperate for them.

    Summary

    “Last question, Astarion. Would you ever hurt a living thing?”

    Astarion stares blankly ahead, “No. Of course not. Not unless they had it coming.”

    “Astarion,” the man laughs, and slides his fingers on the glass and light. “In your present build: Would you harm a living thing?”

    “No.”

    “Good boy,” he smiles.

    Some part of Astarion appreciates the words, even as his emotional subroutines are suppressed. He is a good boy, sometimes.

    Summary

    "So, what's next for the great Gale of Waterdeep?" Astarion asks, drawing him out of his brooding.

    Gale frowns. He hasn't been Gale of Waterdeep since before the nautiloid. No matter how much bravado he puts on. But then, who is he? Without Mystra. Without the Orb.

    -OR-

    Sometimes the best choice still feels like shit.

    Summary

    “Do you want a heart transplant?” He didn’t know what possessed him to ask that. It seemed certifiably insane the moment it left his lips.

    Gale sat back regarding Astarion with an unreadable expression. “Honestly? I don’t know,” he sighed. “I mean, obviously, it would be an incredible gift, and I am not going to turn down a match… but I also feel quite sick when I think about some old woman holding a stethoscope to my chest and weeping over her dead child.”

    “That is quite a dark thought, isn’t it?”

    “I know, I should be thinking about how I’m creating a bit of meaning out of a senseless tragedy, but I would rather not have someone die to make my life a little more comfortable…”

    “An amazing gift can still be an immense burden,” Astarion mused. “A heart is a heavy thing to give.”

    Summary

    “Tara. What in the Nine Hells happened to my beard?”

    Gale had gone on a great adventure with a band of tadpoles misfits to save the world from the Absolute. That much, he was certain of.

Or better yet, did they remember? What could it all mean?
    A bit of time traveling shenanigans and the threat of Absolutists to defeat anew... But just how much does everyone recall from that glimpse into the future exactly? Find friends and foes alike back in an adventure with much more to offer than you’d first wager!

    Summary

    ”Mr. Dekarios… what happened?”

    ”I - I don’t know Tara. I opened the book, then everything went black. When I woke up I felt a tightness in my chest and,” He jestured to his left side “This had appeared.”
    - Or -

    The Netherese Orb absorbs life energy and now Gale kills everything he touches. After a year of fruitless research in his tower, he goes to Baldur’s gate looking for answers. He takes a job as a cook in a seedy tavern so he can use the animals on the menu to feed the orb.

    Astarion is out on the prowl and his latest hunting ground shows promise. It’s a shame the handsome guy in the kitchen is so shy. He would be excellent prey.
